And YES, I have a HAMB flathead t-shirt - but it's locked in a safe deposit box with my other family hierlooms.
Black T, Big red HAMB logo on back, Hamb nametag on front brest with white patch to fill in your screen name. Could print loads to get them cheap, fill out your name with a sharpie. Damn, Vonzemo beat me to it.
That's an awesome idea, or something like an old school gym shirt, or a Property of HAMB gym shirt where you write your name as you've shown.
I had mine lasered into wood at the mall. he made this from a tiny drawing on my business card, it's about 5 x 5. the machine did photos as well, they came out really cool.
I remember the last time there was a thread llike this, forum members talking about taking it into their own hands to create hamb gear. Ryan was less than pleased when he posted I think due to the fact its something he has no control over quality wise, so there could potentially end up being a lot of um.. sub par shirts (to put it politely) using the hamb logo that wasnt upto scratch and left an unprofessional lasting image of the hamb name. I dont have an opinion not looking to get involved in arguments just stating what I remember.
Actually the initial idea was not to create HAMB gear. The guys were thinking of doing personal shirts of their avatar, which are not proprietary items. Im suggesting the idea to make an official HAMB shirt that would make the connection to the web site and serve as a promotional item and also help generate some revenue. The only way to make it happen would be to get it approved.
You know,crow ain't too bad after one develops a taste for it! Maybe,put the LOGO on the back and the name on the front,, I could see something like that working. HRP
Easiest way to get it approved is to send a link to the Boss and tell him the post number. Your shirt design looks good, maybe the Ryan will pick it up and run with it.
Avatars usually are reproduced and sometimes copyrighted images folks pull off the internet, to reproduce them can be copyright law infringement .... Why not just make up your own individual shirt - leaving out any HAMB affiliation ? You can get a single shirt made up at a lot of walk in retail locations or on the internet ..... Jim
I would pay and up-charge on my yearly Alliance Membership to get an official HAMB shirt with a logo on the back and my HAMB name on the front. That would be in addition to the Alliance member plaque we currently get. It could be just one more of the many benefits you receive by becoming an Alliance member. I agree the the avatar thing won't fly due to copyright issues and the fact that avatars change fairly often. HAMB names, on the other hand, can no longer be changed. We're stuck with them for life... .
If you really feel the need for that type of attention maybe a tattoo on your forehead displaying your user name? At least it will not wash off.
Tattoos fade, next time we are all in one place everyone can take a good look at a 32 year old tattoo on my arm.
Well, all kidding aside, I jumped on board with this because I wanted to stir up the interest in a HAMB logo t-shirt. I have been wanting one too and the only one in the store has been sold out. Im not expecting on a nod for the avatar idea, not strictly because of the copywrite issue. Theres plenty enough available that could be used. However im still hoping if enough noise is made, another logo shirt will make it back in the store.
